CloudNC’s AI Just Programmed this Part

[@JordanDW]

I understand the argument about us loosing our jobs but we can't stop progress. Being able to manufacture with less resources will bring about new opportunities.

[@Bagginsess]

Right can't stop progress so we shouldn't put our foot down on AI, cybernetics, designer babies, synthetic food, mega-skyscraper cities. At some point we have to say no this is enough.

[@JordanDW]

Valid point. Unfortunately at some point we will run out of materials and space, our only option is to keep progressing. ​@@Bagginsess

No but 90% of jobs gonna diseapear.

[@Bagginsess]

@@JordanDW or like philosophically proposed in many science fiction stories we outlaw AI and robotics. We won't run out of resources that is a myth perpetuated by the powers that be. We can recycle most materials and the ones we can't will be recycled by nature. Space mining and colonization is inevitable. War, disease, and other societal devastations lead to pop loss and like the rest of history we will bounce back. Creating AI and robots will never solve those problems, if anything they will amplify them as people will be removed from the real world and isolated in dense metropolitan areas while the robots pick apart the planet for resources.

[@TheRealOfficialJDmusic]

I think an addition you guys should look into is. Once you put in your machine, tools in use, langths, etc. You should ALSO be able to import your old programs into the systems so it can generate a program based on the programming techniques you prefer.

[@TheRealOfficialJDmusic]

But not just limit to that. Create additional operations as well that it could suggest to better your program and efficiency. There's a lot of potential

[@jasondk5127]

I'm 50yrs old and not afraid of my job I will embrace it. AI is changing the world, and if you refuse to use it, you will be left behind! It will always take talent to make high precision parts.

[@scott1099]

As old old NX CAD jock I love your approach to machining and how you present it as well. Really hope young people pay attention and embrace the lessons you are GIVING to them so they will have awesome career opportunities

[@mackduffy2076]

Been waiting for this video to drop !!! Excited to see how this technology is going to transform the industry. It’s not going to remove the operator or programmer, but instead make each one more efficient. Getting rid of the wasted clicks and initial setup time in whatever CAM software you are using is huge ! The AI Speeds and Feeds Engine is also very cool. Very excited to see Cloud NC progress and perfect their cam assist software 🎉

[@robertr9138]

This is where Cam programming is headed embrace it or be left behind

[@travisjarrett2355]

A lot of developments and improvements to come for sure but this absolutely will become a part of tomorrow's manufacturing. Hard to deny the potential here.

[@barrysetzer]

It's amazing how fast it creates toolpaths and stock models. With programming always being a bottleneck, I would love having a software that gives me a head start like this

[@kentl7228]

If and when it works well, it is good for small shops or "one man band" businesses. All the clerical and work hunting etc jobs that take up so much time need to be done. Having the programming more automated would be helpful. For exampe, people want to have a lathe barfeed all day and want to simply check the work, box the parts and make money. They don't want to change the tools manually or pull the bar out for the next part. The same could apply with AI for programming.

[@McCoskeyPrecision]

This sounds similar to what Edgecam has been doing for years. It’s a time saver but still requires the programmer.

[@tdg911]

That package seems pretty interesting. I just cannot justify the cost for now. I reached out to them to inquire about pricing and for a small operation such as myself it just was not affordable for me but I can see how it can shave off some programming time.

[@patricevecera]

how much was it ?

[@Ricardo-y6j9j]

1 trilhão de pesos​@@patricevecera

[@tdg911]

@@patricevecera It's been a while since I spoke with them but I believe the first year license plus the on boarding process would pay for the manufacturing extension for F360 and year two was around the cost of a full license of Mastercam. Would be fine if I had regular jobs covering the cost of these licenses but I opted to go with the F360 extension first.

[@paulappleyard5832]

AI isn't going to do everything. AI gets it wrong you can't put a job in a machine and expect your machine to be undamaged at the end. The user HAS to understand what is going on. I work in an associated field but I'm not a machinist. I'm using NotebookLM for comparing USA regulations to EU regulation for a specific product. It's great for asking questions on how they interact and overlap BUT it does get it wrong on a regular basis. The only way to know is to actually have an in-depth understanding of the subject. It's a tool NOT a magic bullet. You are 100% correct it is the worst it's going to be and if you don't want AI in your life you better work in a niche area where a company cannot be bothered to spend the money.

[@nostamine2567]

you guys should do a side-by-side comparison of a job : your worst guy with AI assist vs your best guy . PS, i know u are all the best, but just for the sake of the story :)

[@AlphaEngineer2022]

I agree with what Titan said, this will get you 60-90% there. Maybe in the future this will get better, but there will always be someone that needs to check stuff over. No one should just be blindly hitting the green button on this stuff.

[@gsl2597]

I imagine at some time the AI will advance to a point where it "learns" how each person likes to program their parts and use those parameters based on who the operator is... Jessie or Titan or Barry etc...

[@nicksetudeposturale270]

Love it, get more people into machining by making it accessible

[@jacobvaughn7247]

Fine tuning takes the longest time for me so this just doesn’t seem like a viable option… yet.

[@rpm4999]

I find checking and unpicking a programme more tine consuming than writing one from scratch

[@markdavis304]

the future is now! Awesome stuff happening

[@shawnsanders2182]

You guys are awesome ,cutting edge and you share

[@johnhudson5135]

Theft might be a issue if online? Big company's will not tolerate cloud based software.

[@GalacticEchoBox]

Nice analysis 🔥

[@mrechbreger]

The problem is you will give your parts to this external company, they will sooner or later sit on your head. No one is always correct in the AI area - regardless how much money they put into it they might be good but not perfect for sure. The object shown at around 3:20 can be easily and freely handled by FreeCAD - adding some more code to it and you will be able to create the g-code automatically as well or even more comfortably (it took me around a month to understand the codebase and it's absolutely realistic). FreeCAD is not suitable for designing such an object (too many round shapes, it will work but needs a very experienced person who can fix issues) - but it can handle it to generate g-code.

welcome to the future :D

[@TheOtherCoinflipper]

The modern discussions around AI remind me a lot of the old discussions about compilers when they were first used. Gives me mixed feelings about the world of tomorrow. Great video though.

[@philhagan1253]

All CAM systems are only as good as how well you define the techdb. Its is one of the most crucial parts of CAM. I see a lot of comments that are fearful of this technology but i think we should embrace it. I've been following Cloud NC for a long time and knew this was the way forward for programming.

[@lostplr]

Daaag! It don’t get better than this.👌

[@stevehayward1854]

Wheres the savings, standardisation, programming, cycle times ?

[@danielczoller3395]

So basicly CAM Software with extra (expensive) steps?

[@piratiniwood547]

It is a evolution that can't be stopped, but it is still a software that cannot do it out it self. Maybe there comes a time that you can ask the software: which tools do i need, to make a product as quick as possible, but that requires all tools and holders around the world 😂

[@Brit_Toolmaker]

My toolmaking business uses template progames for complex forms that are constantly refined and incorporate new methods as and when. The initial criteria selects itself from material being cut to the size of the part.The result is that we can prgram a new 3D part in a matter of minutes and hit all our stringent requirements reliably. I'm very interested in this and would willing try it as we're always open minded to new tech, if it's any better remains to be seen.

[@Engineered2Detail]

Awesome. I rmemebr asking Titan at Fabtech 2024 in Orlando about CAM assist and if he is looking into it and making videos since he mentioned AI during his keynote speech. Im happy to see he kept up with his promise and came out with these videos quickly! 😊

Yeah I dunno, they have to really check the ai doesnt hallucinate and mess up took chat gpt like 3 years to stop lying to me about the masses of same volume of water and gold, it was convinced that water was heavier Even if this isnt an LLM like chat gpt, it can still do the wildest nonesense and tell you its correct Very interesting stuff tho

AI has designed antenna for space that works better and the engineers can't figure out why.... our time is limited with AI. New tool paths, new speeds and feeds beyond our understanding.

[@jasonruch3529]

Im working on a 17.125" dia 4340 26.25" long solid chunk and it gets a 10" dia hole thru it and a couple of o.d steps on the finished 17"dia. And some end work ( threaded holes and key slots) i wanna know how you monster machinsts at titan would attack this. Btw i used a mazak integrex 1060 with 640m (pro) control. This is a vertical lathe/ horizontal mill type machine. 40in in z, 40in in y and 70in in x 😊 im very curious 😊 oh i have 39in 4 jaw chucks as pallets

[@dj2740]

​@ryandarrah4247 exactly how it works.

[@SaviorTheBurn]

Doesn't matter. You still gotta understand the code to run it. You act like cam took a long time to make a program before.

@@Anthony-uz5tjit doesn't mater if you're late or early to a party when you realize it's a black tie event and you're not invited. In other words unless you get a neuralink and become part machine you will get UBI and connect your pod to the matrix just in order to do something.

[@gabbermaikel]

might be a very good program.... If it would just be able to update itself..... Until then its GARBAGE because you cant start the program because it has to update, but it wont update because it thinks you cam program is running wich is not the case, so it cant close it either because its not running. See the thing? ISNT IT F*CKING GREAT, THAT AI SHIT? Yeah its really awesome right? Dont know yet, because after the first test it needed to update.... Maybe, some day in the far future, when it works again? (no, havent contact them about it yet. But this shit really pisses me off to the point i dont even want to put time in it.) But the thing i allready hated about the program so far in that 1 test. I have my tools setup in my library, i have a face mill set to 1.5MM depth of cut max. Guess what? The program toggles on multiple depths, then puts in a value of 11.somthing ... Yeah that wil end up working out really nice wont it? Lets take the given dat and do it times 7.5 because that is where the sweetspot wil be. Oh the inserts in that mill arent even that big? AH no problem, bodys of facemills are perfect cutting tools as wel. But i guess thats part of what you have to keep checking every single time. Now maybe that would be better after the update? But i cant find out.

[@jeepvette7723]

The beginning of the end for cnc programmers and machinists. Only ones who will benefit are corporations. Programmers will be replaced with low wage button pushers
